Breast Cancer

The genic dissorder I was assigned is breast cancer, a cancer that obviously, mostly affects women. Breast Cancer is thought to be discovered around 1600 BC. Some of the symptoms of breast cancer can be described as lumps and humps on the breast, a change in breast size or shape, skindimpling or nipple inversion. Unfortunately, the treatments for breast cancer are scarse wich only include radiation (ussualy kimo) and surgery. Breast cancer is actually the 2nd most common cancer in america, skin cancer being the most. The female population is affected more by breast cancer than the male population. Cancer becomes a problem very quickly because it mutates rapidly creating tumors and other problems in your body. Before more treatments can be made, we need to understand why cancer happens in the first place, only then can we ever come close to finding a cure.

Plasticisty

A couple of weeks ago (I think), our class did a lab on plasticisty using cornstarch and water. After mixing both substances together, you we created an amorphis solid wich means it's niether a solid or a liquid. Once you scoop a clump of the new substance, it feels cold and if you sqeeze it, it feels like a solid however, if you give it a few moments and let it rest in your hand it will start to melt. sooner or later, it will be dripping off of your hand and you will have a mess to clean up. Yay. Well... although it was fun to play with the corn starch water, I think what our teacher was trying to teach us didn't really get across beside the fact that the substance we made and the mantle both have plasticisty. Oh well, better than book work!

October Sky

Ahhh, yet another day of shortened classes in order to watch a a video in class, nothing better if you ask me. Well the the movie that we watched was called October Sky, based on a book I had never heard of but that ussualy is the case. In October Sky, a small group of five friends become facinated in rocketry after wittnessing the first sattlelight being launched into space. The five friends decide to start making rockets after this event and go on to enter the science fair. After many difficulties, the friends win the local science fair and go on to win the national science fair. All of the five kids get schollerships to attend college for their great deed. Now I am all for more movies like this in school and believe me, I liked this one but... I'll have to agree with comedian on this one, I want magic school bus.
